CBS is picking up “Viva Laughlin,” the U.S. remake of the unconventional BBC musical murder mystery “Viva Blackpool," sources said Monday. Hugh Jackman is a co-executive producer and will have a recurring guest role in the series, which follows the schemes of small-time casino owner Ripley Holden as he tries to open a glamorous resort in the Nevada desert.

CBS also picked up “Twilight,” a vampire drama starring Shannon Lucio, Alex O'Loughlin, Rade Sherbedgia and Amber Valletta, sources said. The series follows a private investigator who was bitten on his wedding night 60 years earlier as he struggles to balance his real-world love with his undead adversaries. CBS won't be making their lineup official until Wednesday.
